KBchess Terms of Service

Welcome to KBchess! Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the KBchess browser extension, software, or website (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

KBchess provides a software tool designed to improve online chess gameplay through custom keyboard shortcuts and Home Row Notation overlays. KBchess is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with chess platforms like Chess.com, Lichess.org, or any other third-party websites.

2. Fair Play and Third-Party Rules

You acknowledge that online chess platforms have strict rules regarding fair play, automation, and the use of external software.

• Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of KBchess complies with the terms of service of any third-party chess platform you play on.
• No Liability: KBchess is designed as an interface enhancement tool, not a cheat or an automated engine. However, KBchess is not liable if a third-party platform restricts, suspends, or bans your account due to your use of keyboard inputs or external software.

3. Intellectual Property

All software, code, designs, graphics, and branding associated with KBchess are the intellectual property of KBchess and its creators. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the software for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reverse-engineer, modify, or redistribute the software without explicit written permission.

4. Privacy and Data Usage

Your privacy matters to us. KBchess operates locally on your machine to translate keyboard inputs into board movements. We do not track, store, or sell your personal data or gameplay history. For more details, please review our Privacy Policy.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. KBchess DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE COMPLETELY ERROR-FREE, COMPATIBLE WITH ALL BROWSER UPDATES, OR UNINTERRUPTED. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL KBchess OR ITS CREATORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ACCOUNT BANS, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF ENJOYMENT) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.

7. Changes to the Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
